Lactobacillus acidophilus NAS - A Natren Probiotic Strain

Lactobacillus acidophilus NAS is a strain developed by Natren Inc in California, USA and is sold only in their products. It has outside research to support it as a probiotic. It has the properties attributed to most L. acidophilus, including that of being a lactic acid bacteria.

According to company records:

It is a hydrogen peroxide-producing strain

It is able to maintain adherence to intestinal cells in vitro (in a laboratory setting) without a milk base making this strain ideal for people with milk allergies

It also showed excellent bile tolerance in a third-party verification study by Silliker Laboratories.

Should You Be Taking Lactobacillus acidophilus NAS?

I can help you decide if this probiotic strain is suitable for you to try. If you do try it, I still recommend that you use it as part of a probiotic/beneficial microbes support plan including naturally fermented foods and drinks and probiotic-fortified foods and drinks.

Where Can You Find This Probiotic Strain by Natren?

In the US, Lactobacillus acidophilus NAS is found in Natren
probiotics. Unlike many manufacturers, Natren only produces probiotics
and their manufacturing practices are certified by a third-party
international agency. They produce their probiotics in a
pharmaceutical-grade facility and do their own culture maintenance,
oil-encapsulation and freeze-drying process. Every step of the way is
performed under continuous refrigeration to ensure maximum product life.
The products are bottled in dark amber-glass with tin lids to prevent
moisture and light from harming the products.

When you buy
directly from Natren via my links, they always ship their probiotics
with 2-day air shipping with blue ice and both blue ice and dry ice
during hot summer months in specially-designed, thermally-controlled
boxes to protect the potency. Natren does everything it can to guarantee
that your probiotics will perform at their optimum levels through the
expiration date on the label. That is why the links below will take you
to the Natren website.

Another option for purchase in the US, Vitacost, is also listed below. Vitacost stores this product in the refrigerated section of their warehouse and will ship refrigerated probiotics with a cold pack. They recommend that you choose 1- or 2-day shipping.

Contains Two bottles of capsules: one is a vaginal homeopathic suppository and one is an oral capsule containing 5 billion CFU of NAS with potato powder, garbanzo bean (chick pea) powder, among others.
